BANCO DE CHILE
REPORT ON FORM 6-K
Attached is a Notice Regarding Banco de Chile’s Application to Delist from the London Stock Exchange on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority, which will result in the cancellation of the trading of its ADRs on the London Stock Exchange.
Notice Regarding Application to Delist from the London Stock Exchange
Santiago, Chile — November 23, 2015 — Banco de Chile (the “Company”) hereby announces that it has made a voluntary application to each of the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the standard listing of the Company’s American Depositary Receipts representing shares in the Company’s common stock (“ADRs”) on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority, which will result in the cancellation of the trading of its ADRs on the London Stock Exchange. Such delisting is expected to take effect on December 22, 2015. This notice is given in fulfillment of the obligation under Listing Rule 5.2.8.
1. Name of issuer:
Banco de Chile
2. Securities subject to delisting:
BANCO DE CHILE ADR (EACH REPR 600 SHS COM STK)
Currency: USD
Listing category: Standard GDRs
SEDOL: 3243006
ISIN number: US0595201064
3. Schedule for delisting:
The delisting of the Company’s ADRs is expected to take effect on December 22, 2015 (the “Delisting Date”). The last day of dealings in the ADRs on the London Stock Exchange will be December 21, 2015. From and including the Delisting Date, holders of ADRs will no longer be able to trade their ADRs on the London Stock Exchange.
4. Reason for delisting:
· Only a small amount of trading in the ADRs is conducted on the London Stock Exchange; and
· in practical terms, as the Company is listed on the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Valparaiso Stock Exchange and the Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange (all in Chile), the continued listing of the Company on the Official List does not afford the Company a material advantage in terms of additional sources of funding relative to the ongoing cost of maintaining the listing on the Official List.
5. Regulated investment exchange on which securities are traded:
The Company maintains its primary listing for ADRs on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Sincerely Yours,
Arturo Tagle Q.
Chief Executive Officer
